Is the Jar BPA Free? Any one make almond milk or used nuts in this at all? How'd it work?

Yes to first question. I make smoothies with many nut varieties (from Costco) and it works great. I do not know much about making almond milk, follow the recipe.

ground almonds. that's it. there is some separation when i initially open, i just mix and we're good to go. i like that the jar is plastic and not glass.

The jar is glass so it is indeed BPA-free. You need a filter for the chloramine, which distillation does not remove. But the question remains as to if the small filter provided is large/extensive enough to do the job. My understanding is it takes a pretty extensive filter to remove chloramine. Also, people should be warned NOT to run this in an unventilated area as distillation emits some toxic fumes. Best to run it in the garage or somewhere well ventilated.

Waring list three parts and accessories for this yogurt maker: the jars (two sizes) and lids. They're all described as BPA-free. http://www.waringproducts.com/ret/catalog/product.php?product_id=73&cat_id=3 Chances are that the jars already shipped with the unit are the same BPA-free jars.

I have never used Almond Milk but think a lot of people don't have success with it. I use Westsoy soymilk and it has never failed. I also use 1 teaspoon of soy yogurt for a starter per pint the next time I make it. Never had luck with using soy yogurt twice not as thick

I have not used soy myself, because I'm allergic to it, but I do not see any problem with a particular type of milk. If almond milk works, and it does, why not soy?

It is made out of a flexible plastic material so the circle shape that lays flat can conform to your tub and lay snug. As for bpa free.. I don't know. I have already thrown away the packaging. That wasn't of much concern to me since it is laying in the bottom of the tub and not near any food or drinking water sources.

Please ask Halle to go to www.wildplanetfoods.com and inquire about this. I do not see where there is any reference to the tuna being BPA free.

I did not make coconut milk...I use it to make almondmilk...I soaked 1 cup of almonds overnight...and then drained and rinsed them...put them in a blender with dash of salt and 6 cups of filtered water, 1/2 tbsp. and with 4 fresh medjool dates to sweeten...blended for 2 min. ...poured slowly through bag...delicious!

My take is you could make "coconut water" rather than coconut milk. The machine isn't an extractor - it essentially pulverizes what goes into the cup and mixes it with the (required) liquid in the tank. I've added some shredded coconut (either fresh or re-constituted - not dry) to almonds almonds for a coconut-flavored almond milk. If you're after actual coconut milk/nectar, a juice/extractor might be a better bet. But you should still check with manufacturer, as there are different grades/strengths of juicers. Also, definitely check with Soyabella's manufacturer and let us know if you can, in fact make coconut milk with it. (I'd be surprised)

Claudia, I cannot attest to these jar lids being BPA-free, however, the following link takes you to the 4 oz Ball jars which apparently DO HAVE the new BPA-free lids. I found the BPA-free answer under one of the questions specifically asking if the lids were BPA-free for canning baby food. I hope this helps. :) Ball Jar Crystal Jelly Jars with Lids and Bands, Quilted, 4-Ounce, Set of 12

I buy raw almonds and I soak them in water overnight for about 12 hours. In the morning I rinse the almonds a few times throwing away the water. I then put the almonds in a blender, (I have a Vita Mix blender that is very powerful) and I add four cups of filtered water and then turn on the blender at full speed for a few seconds. I then have the nub milk bad in a large bowl and pour the contents of the blender inside the nut milk back that is sitting in the bowl. I then squeeze the liquid out of the nut milk bag careful not to let the dry ingredients fall into the bowl. After squeezing as much as possible i remove the nut milk bag with the contents and place to the side. I rinse the blender before pouring contents of bowl back in blender. I add 1 packet of Stevia and one tablespoon of alcohol free vanilla extract, blend and it's done. The contents in the nut milk bag can be used to create a crust for different desserts. I have raw recipe books and am planning on using the contents for a dessert soon. The nut milk is actually more delicious after being in the refrigerator. Remember to shake before drinking and I put it in a glass container.

This one that I purchased are Metal lids. I have no idea if they are BPA free...doesn't say on jar or box.

It's been almost a year since I had this, I returned it cause it didn't work well. I don't really remember if I used it to make nut milk or not. I now use the blendtec and it does a wonderful job, but you do need to use the nut bag but that certainly isn't a biggie. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

It is in a plastic jar. I do not recall if it said BPA free or not. Sorry I couldn't help more

Did you try calling the company and asking? It probably doesn't since it's not a real "can". The sides of the can are made out of a cardboard like material. The lid and bottoms of the can are aluminum, and aren't coated with any kind of plastic or lining material. I'm a BPA freak too, and my son has had this powdered goat milk since he was switched from breast milk at 1 year.
